I'm an incoming freshman at Indiana University. At said college, known as one of the nation's top 'party' schools, I have found it quite difficult to adapt to my new sleeping schedule. On Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights (when I have 8:00am classes the next morning), I usually get about 3-4 hours of sleep. The rest of the week, however, I often enjoy 12-15 hours of sleep per night.

Will this new pattern of hibernation have any long-term effects on my life?

Dear name that sounds way too close to â€œass toot,â€

Partying that much and sleeping at unhealthy times will certainly have an effect on your life. You will become popular, leading to more connections, a good job, and lots of money. As you can see, more beer and less sleep equals more money. Scientists call the Theory of Being Totally Awesome.

Thanks for writing. This was Joe College saying, â€œYou should learn what incoming means before you use that word.â€
